The Tigers lose to the Twins 4-3 despite three homers in the game. Doug Fister pitched six innings allowing four runs and nine hits. When the Tigers are losing early it is very hard for them to come back again shows today when Minnesota put three runs on the board in the third inning.

Detroit's Brennan Boesch hit a solo homer in the fifth to cut the Twins lead to 4-1. Andy Dirks and Prince Fielder had homers and Minnesota had a 4-3 lead. The Tigers had two men on in the eighth then a stikeout and a double play ended the rally.
